I'm wondering what the average battery life is that people are getting with the 18500 and 18650 batteries? Also I've read you can use non imr batteries? Some say non imr for low voltage and imr for higher volts? Any info is appreciated. Thanx.

I'm getting pretty much exactly a day on IMR 18650, sometimes less, sometimes more.
charged to 4.2v fresh off the charger and drop to about 4.15 usually.

Thats ego-t atty using maybe 4ml a day.

Not usually an issue s you can check the battery volts before going out to decide whether to change.
I would think the above advice is pretty good with the exception that it should be changed to power as that determines the current drawn from the battery, just using the voltage is not taking the atty resistance into account.

I might try some non IMR's I have and see how they last, I don;t have any 'true' 3000mAh, mine say that on the side but they are closer to 1800mAh in reality.

Day one for me. I have been vaping it pretty hard on the 18490 since about 2:00pm today. The low battery indicator has been flashing for about an hour now, and the Cb is reading 3.3 right now so I don't expect it to last much longer. Though I am about to go to bed. I am going to put a fresh 18490 in it tomorrow when I got to work at 9:00am and give it a true test.

Disclaimer: I can't put this thing down. I think i have vaped more today than I have in the last 3 days combined. I think I got my first nic overdose today. Really nauseous and a bad headache. I need to start stocking some lower nic juice now lol.
